Great news, wise owl, it's lovely to have that "see you in 3 months" message, isn't it?
You asked earlier about what you do now with HbA1C of 39. The normal range is usually given as 26-41. There is some increased risk of features of metabolic syndrome within the normal range, but the increase is small compared to what happens when it gets into the prediabetic (42-47) and diabetic (48+) range.
So.... you have already got the vast majority of the risk reduction available to you by getting it to 39. OTOH, for type 2's controlled by diet and metformin, there is no downside to having a lower HbA1C. There is no risk of dangerous hypos as there is for people using insulin.
The floor's the limit, as it were. My last HbA1C (November) was 40, but I would really love to have it nearer to 30.
